Has anyone built it? If so, what were your thoughts on construction and accuracy? I know that the engine bulges are over-pronounced, but what else?

Wanting to know if this is an acceptable substitute to the Revell F-15E.

Great job on your F3H Demon. Your weathering looks really good and it is another solid build from you.

Congratulations, Queito! It’s an excellent build. It looks like it came right out of the South Pacific. Well done.

A fantastic achievement Shawn. I have looked at many of these over the years and enjoyed seeing all of them. To have so many is impressive but the individual quality makes this collection something special .

Very impressed with this build, especially the paintwork and weathering. Panel lines are all there but not screaming. Camo finish is variable without looking too mottled. The build is clean but the bird looks alive. Overall the finish is as well-scaled to reality as the plastic kit. Nice job.

I have seen this model in person and the photos don't do it justice. It is very impressive. The rescribing is flawless... it looks like a recessed panel lines kit right from the manufacturer. The paint work and masking is very well done. The weathering is subtle and very realistic.

Hey Serge,

Nice work on your RCN Scooter, even if it is a what-if. We actually did look at the Skyhawk for a while. Not a criticism, but HMCS Shearwater is in Nova Scotia, and not PEI :)

its come to be some sought of tradition with me and Thomas.....and time really flies with another year almost coming to an end

once again, thanks for obliging us and best wishes.....to you and all at ArC

But Paul's model took my breath away. Absolutely stunning weathering. Just perfect. Amazing. No exaggerated panel lines. Just a worn out Bird of Prey. Great job.

Great job on the build of the Formaplane C-7. Its STOL capabilities were amazing. As a kid in the 60's I watched a TV program where a C-7 landed on a football field inside a college stadium. The goal posts (the old short posts, not the newer tall posts) were at the back edge of both end zones and the top rim of the stadium was about 50% taller than the goal posts, and the C-7 was empty. I can't remember if they took off, but I think they had to to get the plane out of the stadium!

Waldek, this is an amazing looking model! And it is not a far east quality kit it is KP! Hat´s off to such a good work!

Sorry, usually I'm not picky about the misspelling of Italian names (most common Guiseppi insteat of Giuseppe etc.) but this time I kindly ask for a correction...

The shuttle was named for Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) astronomer, physicist, engineer, mathematician and father of scientific method.

Galelio is really tooooooooo much!

And by the way, in the text it is spelt correctly, so just a small correction to the title, pleeeeeeease.

Thanks

Davide

Very nice model of the YAV-8B om today's (6 May) main page. I would not trust "Viginator Decals" though. Being the manufacturer of Vingtor Decals, I suspect "Viginator" is a pirate manufacturer :)

Just wanted to commend Pieter Stam on his beautiful C-46. My uncle is a now-retired Bolivian Air Force pilot who flew the C-46 for many years. It's a miracle he survived because he did, in fact, survive at least one crash of this beautiful plane.

There are so many aftermarket markings for some of the most obscure aircraft out there. I only wish there was more respresentation of Bolivian aircraft especially since they flew a myriad of aircraft from Mustangs to Shooting Stars to Fortresses to the Commando and so many others. But since it doesn't have a swastika on it, I guess it'll have to languish out of the limelight.

Thank you again, Pieter, for showing us your build! I hope to see pics of your Bolivian B-17 someday soon!

Eric

I find the Gannet to be ugly and therefor uninteresting. Curt's work, though, made me ignore those feelings while I sat here gob-smacked at the detail and intricacies of the diorama. One wing on a jack while the folding portion was removed for maintenance??? That engine and gearbox!

Simply superb.

Another good one from Shawn. I had no idea that these came in dark blue. Now I'm interested in finding one of these in 1/144 to build.
